The strategy worked and made hundreds of millions BECAUSE left-wing ad agencies suckered American companies into costly advertising on MSNBC... for almost ZERO return.
Car companies with their greedy little hands out to Uncle Sam deserved to be suckered... the rest of the companies didn't.
Oh - and FOX news is being treated to sickening ads by the same liberal elite ad agencies... they need to switch... and quickly.
Sharpton's 2003 e-mail to Honda "We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner."
Sharpton raised $1 million for NAN at his 60th birthday bash in October, with donations rolling in from unions and a corporate roster of contributors including AT&T, McDonalds, Verizon and Walmart.
Companies have gotten in line to pay Sharpton. Macys and Pfizer forked over thousands to NAN, as have General Motors, American Honda and Chrysler.

I sincerely hope "payments" to Al were properly disclosed to shareholders of publicy-traded companies.
